USB-C 2.5Gbps Ethernet Adapter

The TAURKENAM USB-C 2.5Gbps Ethernet Adapter adds a wired RJ45 network port to laptops, tablets and NAS devices that only have USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 connectivity. It is built around the RTL8156 chip and supports 2.5G, 1000M, 100M and 10M Base-T speeds for faster, more reliable internet access.

Plug-and-play on Windows, macOS and Linux

Driver installation is automatic on most Windows, macOS and Linux systems so the adapter works immediately after connection. The aluminium housing and nylon-braided cable resist daily wear, though the link will fall back to 1Gbps or lower if the Ethernet cable is below CAT6 standard.

Requires CAT6 or higher cable for 2.5Gbps

The single specification that decides suitability is the cable category: 2.5Gbps throughput is only achieved with CAT6 or better cabling. Buyers who cannot replace existing CAT5e runs will not see the advertised speed.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the adapter is running at 2.5 Gbps after plugging it in?

Check the link speed in your OS network settings; it should show 2.5 Gbps when a CAT6 or higher cable is connected to a 2.5 Gbps switch or router port.

What comes in the box and do I need to buy a cable separately?

The adapter ships with an aluminum-cased USB-C to RJ45 dongle and a nylon-braided lead; a CAT6 or better Ethernet patch cable is not included and must be purchased separately.

Which version should I choose for a MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt 3?

The single RTL8156-based model works natively with Thunderbolt 3 and 4 ports on macOS, Windows, ChromeOS and Linux, so no alternative version is required.
